Why Subwoofers
When the low-frequency sound in action scenes or the soundtrack of a film plays out with striking rhythms, or when double bass and deep organ tones are heard in musical compositions, this sound immediately fascinates the listener. The bass is therefore as much responsible for creating a unique atmosphere in films as it is in music. If you want to experience this extraordinary atmosphere not only in the cinema or the concert hall, you need a speaker system with subwoofer. Velodyne Acoustics offers here the right solutions for every room and thus also all the benefits of woofers.
What exactly are the advantages of a subwoofer?
- Large diaphragm surface and high volume make particularly deep bass possible
- Correctly adjusted, it cannot be acoustically located in the room
- Full intensity of low frequencies – even with small main speakers
- Relieves the low-range effect on the other speakers in a system

Subwoofer Direct
Subwoofer Direct is just one of many exclusive technologies from Velodyne Acoustics. This option bypasses the subwoofer’s internal crossover to always provide the best acoustic solution in a system with an AV receiver including its own crossover.
Help with speaker placement
With a subwoofer, the placement of the speakers often becomes easier. The best example is the listening room at the dealer: Here the speakers are placed in a perfect stereo triangle in a demonstration room with very good acoustics. Window surfaces and open living rooms make life a bit more difficult for interested hi-fi enthusiasts here and often require compromises when it comes to placement. This makes a wide audience area with precise bass a real challenge. Here again, the subwoofer comes into play. Depending on the location, it can reproduce the low frequencies for all channels, calibrate them and solve some acoustic problems with a suitable cutoff frequency. In practically every case, the subwoofer thus helps to create a better system and charms listeners with its tactile, authentic reproduction.
